The Application Process

Prospective students must submit a complete program application package post marked by February 15. The application should include evidence of meeting all program prerequisites, including all interim grades. All required courses must either be in progress (high school students only) or at least 50% completed by the application deadline. The deadline for completion of courses in progress is August 1st.

Applicants who have been shortlisted are invited to a mandatory Orientation Session which is held in Kamloops in March. The purpose of the Orientation Session is to ensure applicants have a clear understanding of the AHT program and the profession. Orientation sessions include: in-depth information about student workload and responsibilities, meeting with AHT faculty and a tour with current students in the program. Applicants will also be required to take a math test and fill out a questionnaire during the Orientation Session.

An invitation to an orientation session does not guarantee admission into the program.
